i understand it is his last wish but i can promise you i won't go to dust with my valuables not passed on to charities. my assets have and always will be very liquid and since i'm already retired and never married or had kids getting a will made was easy. i had my first one when i was in my late 20's.

When I die I'm gonna be cremated. Then I'm going to have my refinished pay telephone booth installed at the site with a looping recording of me playing telling everyone what I thought of them. Little will they know my ashes will be right there in the change well of the phone. After 2 years the thing will be torn down and my ashes will be scattered in the ocean. MMMmuuuuuurrrahhahahahaha

At first, I was having a hard time believing this burial happened. A wood and plexi case like this would collapse under the weight of the earth on top of and around it, closing in all the space around the corpse and motorcycle and making hasty grave robbery virtually impossible. You'd need a backhoe to dig this thing out. But strangely, Ohio law doesn't require a burial vault and this is likely a cemetery that simply doesn't require one. Most do. But for the right price, I guess you can buy anything, anywhere. Anyway, this weight-of-earth is enough to prevent any sort of theft, but the corpse and cycle will certainly be effected by dampness, insect infiltration, ground water, and the surface above this, erm, thing, would certainly slump and collapse as the earth crushed and slid into the container, which would require the cemetery maintainers to backfill it periodically, possibly for years to come. This grave would certainly be a danger to folks mowing the lawn on a riding mower before it collapses entirely and finally in years to come. [Former cemetery worker here.]

What about a custom vault? A vault would protect the casket and keep the ground from sinking in, which is why we use vaults. Well, this and to keep thieves out.

I'm not sure how things work in the United States, but most people in our graveyards are buried in an underground vault. It's a big cement liner inside the grave. The casket is lowered into the vault, and then a concrete lid is laid on top. Either in sections or one large piece. The family can have the option of sealing the vault with epoxy. Maybe it's different in the US.
